This was pretty fun. It's not anything especially intense or deep or whatever, but it feels like a fun episode that you'd have seen in the first season or two of the show.

A cute little read, the artwork was cool and I enjoyed the story. Makes me want to get back into watching Buffy again

Very cute, and the artwork is pretty good also.

I saw this cover art and was immediately drawn to it. Plus, who diesn't love Buffy?!?! Upon reading this series debut though, I wasn't very impressed. The graphics are more anime, I wanted more along the lines of the cover. Plus... I think I'm a little too old to be reading about this level of high school drama. Granted it was cool to see Giles and Buffy and Willow and the whole gang in a new storyline, but I don't know if I liked it enough to follow it up with the next in the series. We'll see.

A very slim graphic novel that doesn't really add a whole lot to the Buffy story. I'm not sure why this would be released now -- it has no relation to the ongoing stories from the Buffy seasons in comic form. Buffy: The High School Years has a manga look to the characters, tells a pretty non-descript story about Buffy, Willow, and Xander, and takes all of about 5 minutes to read. I'm glad I didn't spend money on this -- thank you, public library!
